Card requirements:
Make a card that locks up monster card zones (E. G. Ojama King, Ojama Knight)



Card A:


Zoning Laws of the Underworld

Continuous Spell

One per turn, when the turn player Special Summons a DARK monster: they can target one unoccupied Monster Card Zone for each DARK monster they control; the targeted Zones cannot be used until their opponent's next Main Phase 2.


Card B:

Neither player can use Monster Card Zones in the same column as a used Spell/Trap Card Zone that they control. Destroy this card when all of your opponent's Monster Card Zones are occupied by monsters, or when your opponent has 5 cards in their Spell & Trap Card Zone.

EDIT: DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO THE END OF THE MONTH.

Card A: Nice idea, but the dark attribute makes it a little weak. Selecting 2 attributes would be better.
Card B: Nice idea also, but I noticed that it states "Neither player can use..." but then states " destroy this card when your opponent..." The first effect targets both players, but the second targets only the opponent. Was this done intentionally?

I vote card B since it's maker may have made that effect on purpose. Even if it was an accident, I still would have voted card B.

After this contest is over, can the maker of card B please tell me if that effect was an accident or not?

Card A: I find it to be a bit lackluster due to the fact that it requires a specific attribute and only locks down the Monster Card Zone until the opponent's Main Phase 2.

Card B: I like it more, because it permanently locks your opponent down (prior to its own destruction) and its effect, relating to columns is very unique.

 

So, I vote for Card B.

Card A is potentially problematic - a one-sided lingering zone lock, albeit temporary, can create problems. This is prevalent in a matchup consisting of a Deck that spams DARK monsters against a Deck that can't do so - more DARK monsters means more zone locks means fewer monsters for the opponent to retaliate with.

 

Card B, on the other hand, is fairer in this regard, being symmetrical and non-lingering. Creates some interesting Senet interactions, but ultimately boils down to a different flavour of Spatial Collapse... maybe. Card wording implies that the zone locking is one-way, and it's entirely possible to summon your field full of monsters but still have the S/T zones available.

 

Vote still goes to card B for instigating fewer unintended problems.

Huh, didn't see it that way. I was trying as hard as possible to include "Monster Card Zones" in the wording (contest requirement), but that has ended up being one-sided as you said, so I'll change it if/when I put it in RC.

The second effect didn't target both players as I thought the card would clearly be benefiting its user so the second effect applies to the opponent so he/she can stop it, but looking at it again, it looks like the second effect applying to both weakens it more. Again, I'll change it if I put it in RC.

 

Anyways, thanks for the contest Aez, Gg!
